The Clovis North Educational Center is Clovis Unified School District’s third educational center. The 96-acre comprehensive Center includes Clovis North High School; Granite Ridge Intermediate School; a full complement of athletic and recreation facilities; maintenance and operational support facilities; Child Development Center, and the Clovis USD Performing Arts Center. The Clovis North Educational Center is a high performance, energy efficient school. The Center includes design concepts such as reduced heat-island effect, use of agricultural waste water for irrigation, utilization of ‘day-lighting’ and ‘view opportunities’ in every classroom, highly insulated building envelopes, high performance lighting and high efficiency mechanical systems controlled by Energy Management Systems. These sustainable design efforts resulted in the Center receiving over $2 million in state energy grants and utility company energy rebates.
